Talk:Safeway

2011 Tucson shootings section

I have deleted this section as the location of the shootings being a Safeway is irrelevant to the event. It did not affect Safeway Inc, nor did Safeway Inc have any influence on the shooter's actions. Katie-e (talk) 03:00, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Animal Welfare Concerns

I had trimmed down a lot of the sensationalism of this section to make it fit a WP:NPOV; but the fundamental story here is that even before the results of the investigation was published, Safeway had changed their sourcing policies. While it may be a notable program to the article for Mercy for Animals, I'm not seeing a strong reason to leave the material in this article. It became a non-issue (for Safeway) before it was even published. Anyone else feel the section should just be removed from this article? --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:12, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Why there's so few Safeway stores in Idaho.

Safeway has two locations in Coeur D'Alene, one in Sandpoint, one in Lewiston, one in Bonners Ferry and one in Moscow, ID. There used to be many more of them, especially in the Boise area. Why that changed was in the 90's the company wanted to build a new store in Boise close to a school. The city council denied the permit because it was too close to the school and there were "safety concerns" about students crossing roads to go to Safeway. Then Albertson's was granted a permit to build on the location that Safeway was denied. In response, Safeway closed all but their most northern stores in Idaho and has not opened another store in the State since. It's a bit ironic now that they're owned by the same conglomerate as Albertson's. I've been searching for information related to this event, I remember it from local news reports, but like so many things pre-WWW it's hard to locate. Bizzybody (talk) 06:24, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

Lots of material - flows erratically in places as if pieces were just inserted willy nilly -June 2014

Sorry, I will not read again and make detailed notes.

I just thought maybe it would be good to hear the impression of someone not associated with this material who just read the entire article.

Generally I like the accumulation of information. However, there are places where it reads as if someone inserted a sentence in the middle of a flow of information or that someone decided to add to the flow of information after someone else entered slightly off topic information.

Disjointed flow of thought.

There is also some strange and illogical reads around the discussion of the years of sales and mergers in the early years relating to the number of locations sold and by whom. Very difficult to get a clear mental image of the entire process because it just does not seem to add up based on how it reads ... from my perspective.

All in all it reads a bit more like a story that was outlined then handed out to several people who each took turns at interjecting thoughts here and there. Or, maybe it was longer and trims of info were made that negatively impacted the original flow of the information.

Would be nice if one of the authors would take the time to read through the entire article from start to finish with an open mind and try to determine if the information passes the logic test. 166.191.141.20 (talk) Just a friendly passer by looking for knowledge — Preceding undated comment added 06:06, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

Albertson's Merger

The FTC approved the merger on January 27th 2015 followed by the merger finalizing completely on January 30th 2015. Safeway was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and is now a privately held company. The new company agreed to sell 168 stores for the FTC approval.

Groceryworks

I can't seem to edit the Groceryworks entry in the cross reference box at the bottom. It should say Groceryworks.com (Joint Venture with Tesco)

Also, the whole article could do with dedicated section about online. --176.25.141.37 (talk) 22:22, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
